Why Tatu
Tatu Collective works as an embedded partner to organisations delivering nature based solutions, helping strengthen their direction, raise funds and find their voice. If your organisation is growing, changing direction or facing a challenge that needs experienced capacity, we work alongside you to build what is needed next.
The people closest to the work usually know what needs to be done. They understand their landscapes, communities and conservation challenges deeply, and bring years of practical and technical experience. As organisations grow, the challenge is often building the structure, systems, funding and communications around that expertise. Tatu works alongside teams to strengthen those foundations, so they can focus on the work itself and have the resources to do it well. Doing the work well often depends on expertise that sits behind the scenes, but growing organisations cannot always justify building full teams around every need. Tatu brings that expertise together around the people already doing the work.
Strategy, priorities, organisational structures, planning, budgets, management systems and practical tools that make it easier to lead.
Fundraising strategy, funding landscapes, donor positioning, proposals, pipelines, grants systems and stronger fundraising teams.
Positioning, communications strategy, storytelling, media, film and digital communications that help organisations explain their work clearly.

We are proud to work alongside organisations protecting landscapes, wildlife and communities in different ways.
